#ToddAkin, only ducks can prevent pregnancy from #legitimaterape

Michael Shure, Dorothy Lucey and Ana Kasparian break down Rep. Todd Akin’s claim that women’s bodies can prevent pregnancy from “legitimate” rape. It turns out that it can be done — but not by humans. After doing some research, Lucey says, “Apparently, a duck can do this. A duck can will itself not to get pregnant from rape.” Kasparian says, “That’s fascinating, because [Akin] said that he’d spoken in error. He said that he’d read some sort of report. I guess he read a report on the ducks.”
